I'll go my way by myself
This is the end of romance
I'll go my way by
myself
Love is only a dance
I'll try to apply myself
And teach my heart
how to sing
I'll go my way by myself like a bird on the wing
I'll face the
unkown
I'll build a world of my own
No one knows better than I
myself
I'm by myself alone
I'll go my way by myself
Here's how the
comedy ends
I'll have to deny myself love and laughter and friends
Gray
clouds in the sky above
Have put a blotch on my fun
I'll try to fly high
above
For my place in the sun
I'll face the unkown
I'll build a world
of my own
No one knows better than I myself
No one knows better than I
myself
How I wanted love and fell
Now I say what the hell
All of those
black days are gone
Cause its solo, all alone
By myself, from now on
For over 70 years Judy Garland has been a gay icon and a STAR. Once
called the 'greatest entertainer in the world' she was a star from the
moment she sang to Clark Gable "You Made Me Love You" and as Dorothy in
"The Wizard of Oz" gave the world of misplaced people an anthem of
"Somewhere Over The Rainbow". Her joy, obviously, was playing for, and
to, the public and her voice had the sob and laughter of life, in each
word--you believed she lived each emotion when she sang.
Judy Garland (June 10, 1922 – June 22, 1969) was an American actresssinger. Through a career that spanned 45 of her 47
years, Garland attained international stardom as an actress in musical and
dramatic roles, as a recording
artist, and on the concert stage. Respected for her versatility, she
received a Juvenile Academy
Award, won a Golden Globe Award, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for
her work in films, as well as Grammy Awards and a Special Tony Award. She had a contralto[1] and singing range.
After appearing in vaudeville with her sisters, Garland was signed to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a teenager. There
she made more than two dozen films, including nine with Mickey Rooney and the 1939 film with which she
would be most identified, The Wizard of Oz. After 15
years, Garland was released from the studio but gained renewed success through
record-breaking concert appearances, including a critically acclaimed Carnegie Hall concert, a
well-regarded but short-lived television series and a return to acting
beginning with a critically acclaimed performance in A
Star Is Born (1954).
Despite her professional triumphs, Garland battled personal problems
throughout her life. Insecure about her appearance, her feelings were compounded
by film executives who told her she was unattractive and overweight.[citation needed] Plied with
drugs to control her weight and increase her productivity, Garland endured a
decades-long struggle with prescription drug addiction. Garland was plagued by financial
instability, often owing hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes. She married five
times, with her first four marriages ending in divorce. She also attempted suicide on a number of occasions. Garland
died of an accidental drug
overdose at the age of 47, leaving children Liza Minnelli, Lorna Luft, and Joey Luft.
In 1997, Garland was posthumously awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement
Award. Several of her recordings have been inducted into the Grammy
Hall of Fame. In 1999, the American Film Institute placed her
among the ten greatest female stars in
the history of American cinema.[2]
